Check this out! Transfer, Donate, Refund
If there's money left on your student's account, you have some options!
First, please remember that money will follow your student automatically from year to year all the way through 8th grade. If your 3rd grade student has money on their account, they will automatically have that money on the first day of 4th grade in the fall. Transfers, donations, and refunds should be requested if your student is leaving the Auburn Union School District.
Also, please remember that all requests must be made within one calendar year of the student exiting AUSD. After that, the funds are automatically donated.
1. Transfer funds. You can transfer funds to a younger sibling. This is especially helpful if you have an 8th grade student promoting from E.V. Cain. All you need to request a transfer is the permanent student ID number of each student. Most transfer requests can be completed withing 24 hours.
2. Donate funds. You can anonymously donate funds to a student in financial need. All you need is the permanent student ID number of the student account the donation is coming from. Most donation requests can be completed within 24 hours.
3. Refund funds. If a refund fits your life best, you can request a refund in writing. All you need if the permanent student ID number of the student account. Refunds are processed through the same process as checks to our vendors. This process can take 1-4 weeks to complete.
A note about donations:
Donations are anonymous.
Donations are applied towards accounts of students in financial need.
Donations stay right here with our AUSD students.

What's in a meal?
What's in a meal?
Meals include more than what is listed on the menu! Due to changes in fresh produce, some items are not listed on the main menus.
Every breakfast meal includes a choice of a whole-grain-rich entree, fruit selections, and a choice of Wonderful White Milk or Charming Chocolate Milk.
A meal is made when a student selects at least three servings of food, one must be a half-cup serving of fruit.
Every lunch meal includes a choice of entree (grains and protein), fruit and vegetable selections, and a choice of Wonderful White Milk or Charming Chocolate Milk.
A meal is made when a student selects at least three servings of food (from three different food groups), one must be a half-cup serving of fruit or vegetable.
Child Nutrition Assistants are specially trained to help students select a full meal.
The Meal Benefit Program covers the cost of one full breakfast meal and one full lunch meal daily for approved students. Unfortunately, the Meal Benefit Program is not able to cover the cost of individual items, such as a single milk purchase.
A la carte sales of items, like milk, are available to all students with positive account balances to draw from.
The Nutrition Services department is made up of a team of food and nutrition professionals that are dedicated to students' health, well being and their ability to learn. We support learning by promoting healthful habits for lifelong nutrition and fitness practices.

Earned Income Tax Credit
Earned Income Tax Credit
Based on your annual earnings, you may be eligible to receive the Earned Income Tax Credit from the Federal Government (Federal EITC). The Federal EITC is a refundable federal income tax credit for low-income working individuals and families. The Federal EITC has no effect on certain welfare benefits. In most cases, Federal EITC payments will not be used to determine eligibility for Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income, food stamps, low-income housing, or most Temporary Assistance For Needy Families payments. Even if you do not owe federal taxes, you must file a federal tax return to receive the Federal EITC. Be sure to fill out the Federal EITC form in the Federal Income Tax Return Booklet. For information regarding your eligibility to receive the Federal EITC, including information on how to obtain the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Notice 797 or any other necessary forms and instructions, contact the IRS by calling 1-800-829-3676 or through its website at www.irs.gov.
You may also be eligible to receive the California Earned Income Tax Credit (California EITC) starting with the calendar year 2015 tax year. The California EITC is a refundable state income tax credit for low-income working individuals and families. The California EITC is treated in the same manner as the Federal EITC and generally will not be used to determine eligibility for welfare benefits under California law. To claim the California EITC, even if you do not owe California taxes, you must file a California income tax return and complete and attach the California EITC Form (FTB 3514). For information on the availability of the credit eligibility requirements and how to obtain the necessary California forms and get help filing, contact the Franchise Tax Board at 1-800-852-5711 or through its website at www.ftb.ca.gov.
